How Cities Are Saving $4–6 Million Per Kilometre Using Permeable Road Shoulders Instead of Storm Sewer Replacement
Municipalities across Canada and the U.S. can save $4-6 million per kilometre by installing a PurePave permeable road shoulder — eliminating the need to prematurely replace at-capacity storm sewer systems. Includes technical performance data, cost comparisons, and a breakdown of why porous asphalt and pervious concrete fall short in cold climates.

Transforming Urban Landscapes: How Sponge Cities and PurePave Are Shaping the Future
What Is a Sponge City? A sponge city is an innovative urban planning concept designed to manage water sustainably by mimicking natural hydrological processes. Unlike traditional urban areas, which use impermeable surfaces and extensive drainage systems, sponge cities utilize green infrastructure and permeable surfaces to absorb, store, and gradually release rainwater. This approach reduces the risk of flooding, enhances groundwater recharge, and improves water quality. By inc
